FISHING WITH AN ELECTRIC MACHINE.—Mr A. M. R. Burnet, a biologist with the fisheries research laboratory of the Marine Department, demonstrating his electric fish-catching machine at Lagmhor creek, near Ashburton. Within about 10 minutes he caught 25 fish, mainly brown trout. On the left is Mr G. Kelly, president of the council of the South Island Acclimatisation Societies and also of the Ashburton Acclimatisation Society. The machine is designed to catch fish for research purposes so that age and rate of growth may be recorded. When taken away from the electric field, the fish recover almost immediately.
